|  Too Big for the Ride How are the rides at US/IOA? DB and DSx2 will be going in Sept. during our Disney trip. All are Pooh sized. Will they have a hard time getting on the rides? Do the rides, especially the coasters accomodate Pooh-sized people? Thanks for any info. Beth

| The Hulk and Dueling Dragons have special seats for larger riders. Ask a Universal Team Member when you arrive at the attraction, because there are not always team members at the queue lines to direct you into a specific line. Dudley Do Right's just installed individual lap bars that I've heard may be a tight fit. The Mummy causes problems for a few people, but we've had a family member that is over 6 ft, 300 lbs. and fit into the Mummy seats. Those are the only rides I can think of that may be tight. I'm sure some other Passporters with experience in this department will offer their views. Good luck and happy planning!!

| If you check Touring The World under the Disney Parks there is a thread about this. I believe its on the last page or right before that someone gives a description about the rides at Universal. Hope you all have a nice trip. Mindy           |

| I've seen some very large people fit into the regular seats in the Hulk. I saw a guy who must have been at least 350 lbs. fit into a regular seat. The same thing happened at Dr. Doom's Fearfall. If you are a larger-sized person, try the double strap seat on the Hulk and Dueling Dragons. There are test seats outside. Usually, some kid is sitting in them. Just sit on the kid!

| There is one bigger seat in rows 3 & 6 on The Hulk & Dueling Dragons. We always wait for them for my DH.

| Chest size seems to be the deciding factor on Dueling Dragons and Hulk. My DH does body building and has had problems with rollercoasters at other parks. But not IOA. His chest is about a 52+ Since Pooh carries his weight in the belly (no wonder I love him so much so do I), the bigger seats might not be necessary.
